Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Option D is grammatically correct and clearly expresses that the person who claims money cannot buy happiness is not spending money correctly. Option A incorrectly uses 'whomsoever' (object form) as the subject. Option B has 'whosoever' (subject) but places 'obviously' in the wrong position, making the sentence awkward. Option C uses 'whoever' (correct subject) but places 'obviously' before 'right', creating an unclear meaning.
